Liked Clean and well kept hut with great facilities. The campsite on the whole is a fantastic place to visit in a very picturesque valley.

Stunning, I was gutted I was only there for one night.
The Rheidol shepherd's hut
Liked Everything, it was beautiful and very cosy, I will definitely book again.
Disliked I think it may be time to throw out the little portable heater, I tried it but it smelled very badly, the main heater was awesome so no drama 👍

From the manager: Hi Daffyd. Glad you loved the Shepherds hut. The little fan was for cold air as there is a radiator in there for heating as you noticed. You’re welcome back anytime but we are booked up weeks ahead. Look forward to meeting you next time. Kind regards. Andre
A beautiful location in a quaint Shepherds Hut
The Rheidol shepherd's hut
Liked Loved the location. Completely surrounded by hills and trees. It’s beautiful.
The Shepherds Hut was perfect.
Very clean, and very cosy.
I was expecting it to feel small, but there’s plenty of room for two.
There’s no TV which was a bonus, just chilled and had a few glasses of wine.
We didn’t go exploring as it was pouring down, and only stayed in the location to be a stop to visiting Devils Bridge, which I recommend people visit (It’s got some very steep steps, so no wheel chairs or pushchairs!)
Onsite toilets are clean too.
Disliked Nothing to report here

What customers say
This quiet, adults-only campsite offers beautiful valley views and spacious pitches. Owners are consistently praised for their friendliness and helpfulness. Facilities include clean showers and toilets, with a washing-up area and freezer. While the rural location is idyllic, access roads are narrow. Some reviews mention the facilities are basic and could benefit from updating.

From the manager: Hi you came on a very busy weekend. The world rally championship was on in Aberystwyth and we were full and like yourself people brought extra family or friends so it was more people than we usually allocate for. Normally there’s no issues. We will bear it in mind for next year. Thanks

Liked Simple, no frills site. Beautiful, peaceful location. Easy check in.
Disliked Toilet cubicle quite dated and spidery, could do with a revamp.

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback. We are right at the end of a very busy summer. Thank you to all who visited and stayed with us. We close in the next few weeks and then open again at Easter. It’s at this time we do Our maintenance and repainting and repairs. Spiders are their own entity and as much as we clean them away, within minutes it seems, they reappear and spin new webs. Toilets are cleaned and checked daily and twice daily when full. See you again hopefully. Thanks

Top Field non-electric grass and earth tent or motorhome pitch
Liked The campsite was nice and quiet. Toilets where kept in good condition and the little shop on site was handy. Would recommend! The owners were also lovely and helpful.
Disliked The automatic light in the toilets would go off quite often putting the room into darkness. So I would have to wave my hand to activate the sensors.

Top Field electric grass and earth tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Lovely location great for walks andre was friendly and helpful choose any pitch that wasn’t already booked..20min walk to the druid inn which doesn’t look much but the food was superb and a lovely friendly atmosphere. If you plan on going make sure you read andre’s txt about directions.!!!!!!
Disliked Toilets could do with an upgrade but we’re clean and looked after

From the manager: Hi thanks for the positive feedback. Glad you liked the site. Yes toilets are due a revamp over the winter when we are closed. It’s been busier than expected this year and the showers and loos have been well used and abused! Lol. We have guests on site all the time and difficult to close the loos during the busiest time. Roll on November when we close and can do work all round the site. The hot weather hasn’t been helpful either as everyone wants showers twice a day. It’s in hand. Welcome back any time. Kind regards. Andre
